Charity call goes out to fans

12 Jan 2016 By David Watters

EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Grantham Town are hoping their fans and staff will dig deep again for their local foodbank this weekend.

After last year's successful collection for the Grantham Foodbank saw three crates of food handed over to the charity's project co-ordinator Brian Hanbury, the Premier Division club is holding another collection at The Meres on Saturday before kicking off against Workington.

The Gingerbreads are looking to collect everything from tinned meat to teabags and toiletries and a club spokesman said: "Prior to our match, supporters, players and directors are asked to bring as many items as they can afford. All these will be handed to for distribution to those in our community who are currently in crisis."
